Gibbston Valley School House Pinot Noir 2009

It tastes similar to the China Terrace release of the same vintage, though this School House wine is more structured and tannic. Which in my eyes makes it a better wine straight up. Stewed fruits and chalk, cedary oak and cherries. Not what you would call a ‘defined’ pinot noir, but the quality is decent. Lovely acidity. Lovely tannin. Just enough fruit. Not enough brightness or length.
